Optional Tournament Condition For USPA Outdoor Rule 2.a
FairPlay Throw-in tournament condition

Buzzer Beater Variance

XIII. OPTIONAL TOURNAMENT CONDITION FOR USPA OUTDOOR RULE 2.a 
With notice to the teams before the Draw, the Host Tournament Committee may employ and direct the Umpires to employ the version of USPA Outdoor Rule 2 set forth below: 
RULE 2- PLAYERS 
a. No player shall play in any Event for more than one team, except that, with notice to the teams before the Draw, the Host Tournament Committee may designate a handicap range ( B to 10-goals) containing players who may be excepted under the circumstances described below: 
(i) During preliminary play (i.e., non-elimination games), if a player within the designated handicap range is injured or becomes ill during a game, a player competing in the Event of equal or lesser handicap to the injured or ill player may substitute only for the remainder of that game. For all subsequent games in the Event only eligible substitutes may be used. 
(ii) After preliminary play, if a player within the designated handicap range is injured or ill and cannot start or becomes injured in a game, an eliminated player of equal or lesser handicap may substitute for the injured or ill player for the remainder of the game and/or Event. An eliminated player is a player who has completed his or her final game in the Event and whose team has been eliminated from the Event. The substitute is not eligible to compete for any other team in the Event.

IX. OPTIONAL TOURNAMENT CONDITION FOR FAIR PLAY THROW-IN
With notice to the teams before the Draw, the Host Tournament Committee may direct the Umpires to employ the “undefended” or “fair play” throw-in as described below:

Notwithstanding USPA Outdoor Rules 21.l, 22.e, and 22.e(4), which remain in force, if the Umpire or Umpires stop play due to an inadvertent whistle, a damaged or buried ball, a fallen or injured Umpire, player or horse, or some other perceived emergency or unexpected event, and the team in possession of the ball is significantly disadvantaged by the interruption of play, to be determined by the Umpires in their discretion, that team will be awarded possession in an “undefended throw-in” from the point where the ball was considered dead toward the nearer side boards or side lines. In the event this point does not allow sufficient room for the teams to line up on the field, the Umpire shall throw the ball in, in the same manner, from the nearest point that allows it.
In an undefended throw-in, the Umpire shall announce “fair play throw-in to the [color] team” and line the teams up with the team not getting possession at least one horse-length wide of the line along which the ball will be thrown. When the ball is thrown in, only the team awarded possession may play the ball, but it must do so immediately, and no member of the other team shall affect that play. As used in the prior sentence, the word “immediately” means within 5 seconds of the throw-in, and the phrase “affect that play” describes conduct that includes but is not limited to being within a one horse-length radius of the first play by the team awarded possession. If a member of the team awarded possession does not play the ball immediately or a member of the other team affects the first play by the team awarded possession, the Umpire(s) may award an appropriate penalty.


OUTDOOR RULE 14.b (the Buzzer Beater)
b.(i) A ball hit prior to the second bell or horn, and prior to the Umpires’ whistle(s) officially ending the period, may count as a goal if it is not touched by an opponent or a teammate of the player hitting the ball and it rolls or flies between the goal posts (a “Buzzer-Beater)”.

(ii) If any player on either team touches a potential "Buzzer-Beater" with their mallet, body, or horse, the whistle is blown and the ball is dead at the spot of the whistle

(iii) If a foul occurs after a potential "Buzzer Beater" is hit, a whistle will be blown, and if a penalty is called, it will be played out at the beginning of the next period​.

(iv) In the final period or OT period, if a foul occurs while a "Buzzer-Beater" shot is live, and a penalty is called, then the penalty will be played out immediately, and 5 seconds will be added to the clock.

FairPlay Throw-in tournament condition

Buzzer Beater Variance

XIII. OPTIONAL TOURNAMENT CONDITION FOR USPA OUTDOOR RULE 2.a 
With notice to the teams before the Draw, the Host Tournament Committee may employ and direct the Umpires to employ the version of USPA Outdoor Rule 2 set forth below: 
RULE 2- PLAYERS 
a. No player shall play in any Event for more than one team, except that, with notice to the teams before the Draw, the Host Tournament Committee may designate a handicap range ( B to 10-goals) containing players who may be excepted under the circumstances described below: 
(i) During preliminary play (i.e., non-elimination games), if a player within the designated handicap range is injured or becomes ill during a game, a player competing in the Event of equal or lesser handicap to the injured or ill player may substitute only for the remainder of that game. For all subsequent games in the Event only eligible substitutes may be used. 
(ii) After preliminary play, if a player within the designated handicap range is injured or ill and cannot start or becomes injured in a game, an eliminated player of equal or lesser handicap may substitute for the injured or ill player for the remainder of the game and/or Event. An eliminated player is a player who has completed his or her final game in the Event and whose team has been eliminated from the Event. The substitute is not eligible to compete for any other team in the Event.

IX. OPTIONAL TOURNAMENT CONDITION FOR FAIR PLAY THROW-IN
With notice to the teams before the Draw, the Host Tournament Committee may direct the Umpires to employ the “undefended” or “fair play” throw-in as described below:

Notwithstanding USPA Outdoor Rules 21.l, 22.e, and 22.e(4), which remain in force, if the Umpire or Umpires stop play due to an inadvertent whistle, a damaged or buried ball, a fallen or injured Umpire, player or horse, or some other perceived emergency or unexpected event, and the team in possession of the ball is significantly disadvantaged by the interruption of play, to be determined by the Umpires in their discretion, that team will be awarded possession in an “undefended throw-in” from the point where the ball was considered dead toward the nearer side boards or side lines. In the event this point does not allow sufficient room for the teams to line up on the field, the Umpire shall throw the ball in, in the same manner, from the nearest point that allows it.
In an undefended throw-in, the Umpire shall announce “fair play throw-in to the [color] team” and line the teams up with the team not getting possession at least one horse-length wide of the line along which the ball will be thrown. When the ball is thrown in, only the team awarded possession may play the ball, but it must do so immediately, and no member of the other team shall affect that play. As used in the prior sentence, the word “immediately” means within 5 seconds of the throw-in, and the phrase “affect that play” describes conduct that includes but is not limited to being within a one horse-length radius of the first play by the team awarded possession. If a member of the team awarded possession does not play the ball immediately or a member of the other team affects the first play by the team awarded possession, the Umpire(s) may award an appropriate penalty.


OUTDOOR RULE 14.b (the Buzzer Beater)
b.(i) A ball hit prior to the second bell or horn, and prior to the Umpires’ whistle(s) officially ending the period, may count as a goal if it is not touched by an opponent or a teammate of the player hitting the ball and it rolls or flies between the goal posts (a “Buzzer-Beater)”.

(ii) If any player on either team touches a potential "Buzzer-Beater" with their mallet, body, or horse, the whistle is blown and the ball is dead at the spot of the whistle

(iii) If a foul occurs after a potential "Buzzer Beater" is hit, a whistle will be blown, and if a penalty is called, it will be played out at the beginning of the next period​.

(iv) In the final period or OT period, if a foul occurs while a "Buzzer-Beater" shot is live, and a penalty is called, then the penalty will be played out immediately, and 5 seconds will be added to the clock.

(iii) If a foul occurs after a potential "Buzzer Beater" is hit, a whistle will be blown, and if a penalty is called, it will be played out at the beginning of the next period

(iv) In the final period or OT period, if a foul occurs while a "Buzzer-Beater" shot is live, and a penalty is called, then the penalty will be played out immediately, and 5 seconds will be added to the clock.
